Autzen Magic

Thanks, Charles for the kind words. More importantly, thank you for the opportunity to participate in the OBD forum. I can’t help but note that both teams missed a field goal or otherwise I would have nailed the score. Last, but not least, to all those Duck fans who are wringing their hands over missed tackles, missed blocks, etc., I hear you. But I recommend that you take a step back and appreciate that OBD just SHUT OUT a team, are 7-0, and will be ranked #1 or #2. OBD have come a long way since I was a young lad cheering for Reggie Ogburn and the Ducks were running the triple option. What a great time to be. Duck! ENJOY! Go Ducks!!!

I believe they are preserving Moore’s redshirt. Nice to see Alexander get an INT on good coverage.

Yes. A lot of holding by Boilermakers. But pursuit angles/tackling not great. Brandon Johnson needs to improve in order for OBD Natty. I hope Jabbar is OK.

Ducks 38-3 2 Turnovers 4 sacks 277 passing yards

Agree. My boss is very unhappy with my productivity during this Duck football season. And I’m my own boss!

Great stuff all around. And I learned that we all should start calling the deep balls "Blur balls" and not "Bird bombs."

I spent the whole day in Eugene and Autzen tastefully trolling OSU fans. Not because they were mean or crude, but because they were universally self-important, cocky and arrogant. It was a lot of fun!

Oregon, 35-28 (just like last time), 1, 4, 337

I brought and used by Duck Lips for the Boise State game and no one said anything.

I compared the box scores of the Ohio State v MSU and OBD v MSU games and was struck by how eerily similiar the statistics for both games were. Do what you wish with this information. Total Yards v MSU OSU - 483 UO - 477 Yards per Pass v MSU OSU - 7.5 UO - 7.8 Yards per Rush v MSU OSU - 5.3 UO - 5.8 Total Yards Allowed to MSU OSU - 246 UO - 250 Yards per Pass Allowed to MSU OSU - 8.0 UO - 8.7 Yards per Rush Allowed to MSU OSU - 1.9 UO - 2.0

I admit it. I cried watching that video, thinking of the people in my life who I lost to cancer and my sister who is currently battling cancer. It was a good reminder that win or lose on Saturday (and we’re gonna win!), I am fortunate that I have my health and can enjoy watching college football without worrying about my next chemo treatment. F**k cancer! Go Ducks!!!

Yes, Stewart was back in. Bonehead penalty on Pellum. Plus Dickey got his first catch.

Boyle is back!

What a formation on that TD. Tuioti in motion with Connerly in the slot. Can’t wait to see what else comes out of that formation in the future.

Clearly a PI on first play. Would’ve had 1st and 10 on the 40.

45-13 Ducks (beat Sparty by one more point than did OSU 2 4 307

With the respect to some of the rotations, I believe that the coaches are planning for a loooooong season. If the Ducks make the B1G championship game and lose, and then go on a run in the playoffs to the finals, they could play an unprecedented 17 games. That's a lot of wear and tear and depth will be critical. And for the record, I'm not disappointed. I love victories, regardless of how pretty or how ugly. It's all about the "W" and OBD have yet to suffer a "L". Go Ducks!!!

As the saying goes, the best “ability” is “availability!”

Ducks 49-14 2 TO 5 sacks 307 Go Ducks!!!

Yes, I would. Being on FOX late Saturday night > being on Pac 12 Network late Saturday night.

As always, great analysis. Thank you. I remember watching in real time the second play you highlight and wishing James had cut to the right after getting to the second level. Watching it again, I feel even more certain that if James had done so, it would have been a huge gain (not that the yards he got weren't nice).

2085 will be the 60th anniversary of the Ducks first football championship! It will also be the year the Ducks secure their 20th such football championship (once every 3 years isn't too greedy, is it?).

I've really enjoyed a lot of the games previously mentioned -- the 2002 Fiesta Bowl blowout of Colorado, the 2011 Rose Bowl win over Wisconsin (I got teary eyed in the stands) and the 2015 Rose Bowl win over Florida State. The 1997 win at Fusky Stadium and the 2006 win over Oklahoma also rank way up there for me. But I think my all-time favorite Duck victory is the 1990 win over the #4 ranked BYU Cougars. Very few people gave the Ducks any chance. The weather was perfect. The atmosphere was electric. The crowd was loud. B - Y - WHO??? B - Y - WHO??? The Ducks dominated and the post-game parties (I was 21 years old) were epic. Great memories.

Bedford was in at the very end of the game for kneel downs by Moore.

Good question.
